Born To Be An Artist
Adorn
|September - October 2018
Life in general is an inspiration for this Indian-born designer settled in America. Priyadarshini Himatsingka is well-known for her signature handmade creations that have a feel of imperfection leaning towards the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi. Defining modern minimalism, her austere creations in silver and gold are sometimes garnished with a smattering of rose-cuts that are specially cut in her studio.

America-based jewellery designer Priyadarshini Himatsingka was raised in Kolkata, the cultural seat of India, and was inclined towards all things artistic since her childhood. The world of design was not new for her, as she belonged to a family of textile designers.
“I was a literary person, who was interested in arts and photography,” she recalls. At 11, she moved to The Valley School in Bangalore and later, she went on to complete her education at Parsons in New York City. Her learning curve was on the rise, and she went on to earn degrees in Photography and Philosophy at NYU. Finally, she studied Jewellery & Metals at Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) – a calling that was too strong to ignore.

Carved Artworks
Acclaimed London-based jewellery designer FLORA BHATTACHARY’s stark yet appealing jewels set with distinctively carved gemstones evoke a powerful imagery, delicately balancing geometric forms with a delightful profusion of colours. India has a special pull on her. Flora’s ancestors travelled to the country to trade for the East India Company. The exotic and mystical landscapes and the travelogues impelled her to dig into India’s rich history. The mythological stories and references to Hindu goddesses further helped her to create collections that were enshrined in gold and gemstones. There is a distinct crossover of cultural influences in Flora’s unique compositions that dextrously team technology and traditional techniques to create future heirlooms.
